Blind

If ever acting was a husband than Sonam Kapoor is a widow, such crass acting from daughter of a genius speaks volumes about the horror Indian motion pictures is going through there's a crisis of credibility.

This movie is nothing but a caricature of an English movie which was a delight to watch.

The storyline is as usual predictable and useless copy and paste, Jio cinema should be cautious in putting such crass movies .

Soman Kapoor Ahuja is well advised not to shower her histrionics to hapless viewers . In the end my advise is to drink poison rather than watch this crap.

Advice- Don't Dont Dont watch it.

Blind review :

Another week in Bollywood with yet another senseless remake; Blind is adapted from a South Korean thriller and premiered directly on JioCinema this friday. Wise call by the makers I would say, as this movie wouldn't have lasted one day in theatres. No kidding!!

A serial killer (Purab Kohli) is on the loose and only one blind (ex) cop (Sonam Kapoor) has interacted with him once. How this lady manages to nab the dangerous criminal forms the crux of this lethargic and yawn inducing screenplay.

Sonam Kapoor as the main lead, is a disaster yet again proving her supremely untalented acting skills. This movie needed a Vidya Balan, boss!! Purab Kohli fails to scare in a negative role of the psychopath doctor. Vinay Pathak is just about okey dokey as the investigating cop.

Most of the film's dialogues are in English and the few Hindi ones suck big time. The foreign locales add zero value to the plot and I wonder why the movie couldn't be based in our own swadesh!!

Unsolicited suggestion: Act blind as well as deaf if anyone recommends you this tripe. You will do yourself a big favour!!

Film Review: Blind streaming on Jio Cinema

#sanjuzzreviews #JioCinema #Blind2023 #SonamKapoorAhuja #VinayPathak Remake of a Korean film, Blind tells the story of a feisty police officer from Glasgow, Scotland ( Sonam Kapoor) who is blinded in an accident. She is fiercely independent and doesn't want her disability to hold her back . This is when a serial killer enters her life and starts stalking her. Will our blind protagonist come out a winner is what this film is all about.

A female protagonist with a disability stalked by a serial killer looks like an interesting subject for an engaging suspense thriller. However this isn't the case!!

Purab Kohli as the serial killer ( i am not giving up the suspense, this is revealed at the start itself) doesn't send a chill down ur spine like Aashutosh Rana in Dushman or a Prashant Narayanan in Murder 2 have shown in the past. He is quite insipid and has tried to put out his best serious, gaunt look. Unfortunately neither convincing, nor scary!!

Sonam Kapoor does well in her role and so does Vinay Pathak as a Police officer assisting her in the case!!

Not a bad film... yet it felt as if something was missing in it- jumpscare moments, element of surprise, suspense & tension were very few!!

Cudve definitely been better!! One time watch if u like Sonam Kapoor!!

Going with 2.5/5 .. Adios🙂!!

On the plot... you are searching for a serial kidnapper. Police wasn't interested to take it seriously unless people have to convince them, neither they check/find any single CCTV in whole Glasgow during their investigation. Villian was like super man, can kill anyone, reach anywhere, even after the long chase with eye witness... He didn't even see his face or identity the villian. Unnecessary drama to make it long. Except Vinay Pathak, others are just trying hard to be in the character. Useless logic in crime investigation, when they say Sonam was top cop and highest ranker. I doubt Scottish police is that dumb to conduct such stupid investigation ever.

Worth a one or two times watch. Honestly, the plot is a little unclear and vague. A few parts are unreasonable. There has been a trial of portrayal of humour through the character of Prithvi but in vain.

Now coming to the aspects I appreciated (1) Sonam's acting was very good. She totally justified her character and absolutely suited the role. Overall she did a great job.

(2) A number of lessons (though common) you can take away from the film.

(3) Eerie setting as needed but could have been better.

(4) Beautiful portrayal of the bond between dogs and humans.

If you are free and bored go watch it.
